- "Roaring thunder!"
- — Melia
Summon Bolt (Japanese: サモン・ボルト, Samon Boruto) is one of Melia's summon arts in Xenoblade Chronicles and Future Connected. It increases Melia's and nearby allies' Ether by 20% for each active bolt element.
Discharging the bolt element delivers a thunderbolt attack with extremely high damage to one enemy.
